Where are you starting from?

HOW IT WORKS

From first questions to next steps

  1. 01

    Set your starting point

    Choose your country of residence and when you’re thinking of opening an account.

  2. 02

    Work through your checklist

    Review the provider’s status, compare the fees, and read the risk disclosures for the products you’re considering.

  3. 03

    Decide what to do next

    Keep researching at your own pace, or continue to the optional contact form after checking off all three items.

BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Three questions worth asking.

01

Who is the provider?

Check the legal name and which authority supervises it. Look up the firm in the relevant official register.

02

What will I pay?

Ask for a fee schedule and compare what it would cost to buy, hold and sell the investments you’re considering.

03

What could I lose?

Understand how the product works, how much you could lose and whether you can sell when you need to.

COMPARE ACCOUNTS

Look past the headline fee

Use the same example for each provider so you can compare what you’d pay to fund, use, and eventually close or move your account.

Funding the account
Check deposit minimums, funding methods, and any currency conversion charges.
Holding investments
Ask about platform fees, custody charges, and recurring product costs.
Taking money out
Check withdrawal fees and processing times. Ask what it costs to transfer holdings to another provider.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Do I need an account to use the guide?

You only need to choose your country and timeframe. The checklist is free and you can use it without entering contact details.

Does ExTora recommend an investment provider?

The guide gives you questions to ask when comparing providers. It offers general education, and provider selection is up to you.
